The Social Economy Centre (OISE/UT) presents the next talk in their Lunchbox Speakers' Series centred on "Social Capital Financing", featuring Joanna Reynolds (Causeway Social Finance), Anne Jamieson (United Way Toronto), and Karim Harji (Social Capital Partners).
Joanna Reynolds will discuss how social capital financing is proving to be a successful way to leverage private capital, providing resources and flexibility needed to maintain and expand enterprising initiatives.
Anne Jamieson will focus on the challenges that non-profit, charitable social enterprises have in accessing finance - including their internal capacity, the regulatory environment, and the availability of social finance.
Karim Harji will explore the key trends, issues, and opportunities for investors seeking a combination of economic, social, and environmental ("blended value") returns.
The talk will take place on Wednesday, March 24th from noon - 1:30p.m. at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, 252 Bloor Street West, Toronto (Room 5-250). This event will also be broadcast live on the Internet. Please click here for details.
